December is finally here, which means that 2024 is coming to a close. While most are probably decking the halls for the holidays watching Home Alone and Elf, some might still yearn for new shows and movies to add to their rotation. From a Rachel Zegler-led horror/comedy to another great Amy Adams performance, there are still some enjoyable movies in theaters.

'Y2K' Review: 'SNL's Kyle Mooney Heads Back to the '90s in Entertaining, but Underwhelming Directorial Debut
Rachel Zegler and Jaeden Martell star in a world where Y2K happened -- it's way worse than we expected.
Posts
In this film, we travel back to 1999, when two high school juniors crash a New Year's Eve party. They then find themselves fighting for their lives when Y2K becomes a reality.

Ross Bonaime compares Y2K to the films of the late '90s, which feels surprisingly fitting: Even though Y2K is a brilliant idea that doesn't explore its potential as well as it should, it's still charming and playful in a way that makes it an amusing watch; the kind that two dorky teenagers might've rented from a Blockbuster back in the '90s.

'The Order' Review: It's Jude Law vs. Nicholas Hoult in This Haunting, Michael Mann-esque Crime Thriller
Justin Kurzel's disturbing mystery is dark, unnerving, and hits close to home.
Posts
A string of violent robberies in the Pacific Northwest leads veteran FBI agent Terry Husk (Jude Law) to a white supremacist group that plans to overthrow the federal government.
Law and the film's cast deliver incredible performances, but the standout is easily Nicholas Hoult. Ross Bonaime praised the actor in his review, saying: Even more impressive is Hoult, who has already had an incredible 2024 with Nosferatu and Juror #2, but his quiet intensity in The Order might be one of his best performances yet. Again, Kurzel presents him like a bomb waiting to go off, and we can see the cogs working behind his cold eyes, planning his opportunity to lead the white race to victory.

The hierarchy of power in the DC universe was finally changed. James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Peter Safran (Aquaman) took over DC Studios in 2022, and now the superhero reboot makes its premiere on Max. In this edgy DC animated series, a secret team of incarcerated monsters is the last resort for missions deemed too dangerous for humans.
Creature Commandos doesn't reinvent the wheel, but is a reminder that DC is in good hands. Nate Richard said Marvel and DC fans will love the animated series: Those who love Gunn's past work for both Marvel and DC will feel right at home with Creature Commandos. The new series has all the laughs, emotion, and memorable characters that have already established Gunn as one of the biggest and most reliable names in the genre. If this series is any indication, the future of the DC Universe is in very good hands.

'Nightbitch' Review: Amy Adams Gives One of Her Most Daring and Strangest Performances | TIFF 2024
Marielle Heller's adaptation is a wild combination of ideas that are balanced quite effectively. Oh, and Amy Adams turns into a dog.
Posts1
Amy Adams stars as an artist who pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mom and seeks a new chapter in her life. She encounters just that when her nightly routine takes a surreal turn and her maternal instincts begin to manifest in canine form.

Nightbitch is a film you don't want to miss and it comes as no surprise that Adams and Scoot McNairy shine. Ross Bonaime highlights their performances, saying: Adams and McNairy give two fantastic performances that showcase the confused, overwhelming situation that first-time parents find themselves in, and Heller juggles this fantastical high-concept idea with very real emotions and powerful statements. Nightbitch might not be as strange as you'd expect, but it's still a top dog.
